Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Events
Number of DKA events and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey. DKA events are defined as the development of ketones with a diagnosis of DKA by a medical provider.
6 Months
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Severe Hypoglycemic Events
Number of severe hypoglycemic events and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey. Severe hypoglycemia is defined as low blood sugar that affected the individual's ability to think such that they were unable to treat themselves and needed assistance from someone else. The individual may or may not have lost consciousness.
6 Months
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Hospitalization Events
Number of hospitalizations and event outcomes on the Adverse Event and Device Issue - Loop survey.
6 Months
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) Events
12 Months
Measure of Loop Safety by Self-Report of Severe Hypoglycemic Events
12 Months

Loop Additional Form for Current Loop Users
Enrollment (cohort B), 3 Months (cohort A), 6 Months, and 12 Months
- +12 more other outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Cohort A
Individuals who have not started Loop or who have been on Loop fewer than 7 days at the time of enrollment.
Cohort B
Participants who have been using Loop 7 or more days at the time of enrollment.
Interventions
The Loop System consists of an insulin pump (certain versions of Medtronic insulin pumps) and a Dexcom or Medtronic CGM. The system includes an iPhone with the Loop app and a RileyLink to communicate between the pump and iPhone. An Apple Watch may optionally be used with the system.
